Abstract

Each of the slat holding elements (1, 14) located laterally at the bed frame (10) is supported from below by two elastic arms (9) positioned in an upturned v-shape (2) and bent twice (13) at their lower ends, which are screwed (4) to holding plates (6). U-shaped elastic elements (7) are also fixed to the holding plates (6) under the outer ends of two adjacent arms (9). When pressure is applied to one of the slats the bent area (13) of one of the arms (9) is compressed while the opposite arm (9) is guided under the curved outer end (8) of the u-shape (7), resulting in a compensating action.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Unterfederung von Auflagen für Sitz- oder Liegemöbeln gemäß dem Oberbegriff des ersten Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a lower suspension of cushions for sitting or lying furniture according to the preamble of the first claim.

Bei bekannten Unterfederungen mittels Einzelfederelementen ist es bekannt, die einzelnen Auflagerflächen so miteinander zu koppeln, dass bei einer punktuellen Krafteinleitung die benachbarten Federelemente mit zur Abstützung der Kraft herangezogen werden, sodass sich um diese punktuelle Belastung eher eine größere Fläche abgesenkter Federelemente einstellt, als dass eine aktive Unterstützung der Randbereiche dieser punktuellen Belastungen stattfindet. Unterfederte Endpunktlager von zwei oder mehr Federlatten eines Bettlattenrostes sind dagegen in der Regel überhaupt nicht untereinander verbunden, sodass eine Kopplung der einzelnen Unterfederungselemente nur über die Auflage erfolgt.In known suspensions by means of single spring elements, it is known to couple the individual bearing surfaces together so that at a selective introduction of force, the adjacent spring elements are used to support the force, so that sets to this punctual load rather a larger surface lowered spring elements, than that active support of the edge areas of these punctual loads takes place. In contrast, spring-loaded end point bearings of two or more spring slats of a bed slatted base are generally not connected to one another at all, so that a coupling of the individual slab elements takes place only via the support.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Unterfederung für Auflagen von Sitz- oder Liegemöbeln an oder auf einem Grundträger, insbesondere an Längs- oder Querholmen eines Bettrahmens von in Endpunktlagern gelagerten Federleisten, aber auch von Einzelfederelementen zur Verfügung zu stellen, die eine aktive Unterstützung der Randbereiche einer punktuellen oder linienhaften Beanspruchung einer Unterfederung liefern.The object of the invention is to provide a spring base for editions of sitting or lying on or on a base support, in particular on longitudinal or transverse struts of a bed frame mounted in Endpunktlagern spring strips, but also of individual spring elements available, the active support of the edge areas deliver a punctual or linear stress of a spring suspension.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ergibt sich in Verbindung mit den Oberbegriffsmerkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des ersten Patentanspruchs.The solution according to the invention results in conjunction with the preamble features of the characterizing part of the first claim.

Die Unterfederung, die aus Tragelementen, darunter angeordneten Federelementen und Befestigungselementen zur Festlegung auf ortsfesten Lagerbolzen besteht, welche mittelbar oder unmittelbar an oder auf einem Grundträger angeordnet sind, kann als Tragelemente entweder separate Auflagerteller von Einzelfederelementen aufweisen oder aber Aufnahmetaschen für Federleisten von Endpunktlagern, wobei die Federleisten als weitere Tragelemente angesehen werden können.The spring base, which consists of supporting elements, including arranged spring elements and fastening elements for fixing on fixed bearing pins, which are arranged directly or indirectly on or on a base support, as a support elements either separate support plate of single spring elements or receiving pockets for slats of Endpunktlagern, wherein the slats can be considered as further support elements.

Dadurch, dass die Federelemente als sich von unterhalb eines Tragelementes schräg nach unten und außen erstreckenden Federbeinen bestehen, deren Befestigungselemente auf Lagerbolzen festgelegt sind und im Bereich zweier Federbeine benachbarter Tragelemente, insbesondere unterhalb, eine Wippe auf einem Lagerbolzen angeordnet ist, die Stützflügel aufweist, die sich jeweils unter eines der Federbeine erstrecken, wird es möglich, dass bei einer Einfederung eines Tragelementes unter Betätigung der Wippe das benachbarte Tragelement nicht mit abgesenkt, sondern im Gegenteil zur Unterstützung angehoben, bzw. mit einer Stützkraft nach oben beaufschlagt wird, sodass sich die gesamte Unterfederung optimal auf jede großflächige oder punktuelle Belastung einstellen kann, wodurch ein wesentlicher Vorteil gegenüber bekannten Unterfederungen erzielt wird.Characterized in that the spring elements as from below a support element obliquely downwardly and outwardly extending struts exist whose fasteners are fixed to bearing pin and in the region of two struts of adjacent support members, in particular below, a rocker is arranged on a bearing pin having the support wings, the each extending under one of the struts, it is possible that at a deflection of a support element under actuation of the rocker, the adjacent support member is not lowered, but on the contrary raised to support, or is acted upon with a supporting force upwards, so that the entire Optimal spring suspension can be set to any large-area or punctiform load, whereby a significant advantage over known lower suspension is achieved.

Bei einem auf dem Rücken schlafenden Menschen mit starkem Hohlkreuz wird beispielsweise nicht nur der Gesäßbereich abgestützt, sondern ebenfalls dessen Hohlkreuz, was von herkömmlichen Unterfederungen so nicht geleistet werden kann. Eine großflächige Beanspruchung mehrerer Tragelemente führt dagegen wie gewohnt zu einer gleichmäßigen Einfederung aller beteiligten Bauteile.In a person sleeping on his back with a strong hollow cross, for example, not only the buttocks area is supported, but also its hollow cross, which can not be done by conventional spring suspensions so. On the other hand, a large-area load on several load-bearing elements leads, as usual, to a uniform deflection of all the components involved.

Ob die Befestigungselemente der Federbeine und die Wippe auf einem oder unterschiedlichen Lagerbolzen festgelegt sind oder ob die Befestigungselemente um die Lagerbolzen drehbar oder darauf fixiert sind, ist zunächst wahlfrei, ebenso wie die Auswahl der Tragelemente als Aufnahmetaschen für Federleisten oder als Auflagerteller von Einzelfederelementen. Die Lagerbolzen müssen in letzterem Fall auf Querholmen angeordnet sein oder werde selber von diesen gebildet, die dann die Grundträger darstellen.Whether the fasteners of the struts and the rocker are fixed to one or different bearing pin or whether the fasteners are rotatable or fixed to the bearing pin is initially optional, as well as the selection of the support elements as receiving pockets for slats or as a support plate of single spring elements. In the latter case, the bearing bolts must be arranged on transverse struts or are themselves formed by these, which then constitute the basic supports.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ergeben sich mit und in Kombination aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent with and in combination with the following subclaims.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Befestigungselemente verdrehfest auf dem Lagerbolzen festgelegt, die ebenso wie die Befestigungselemente von einer rotationssymmetrischen Querschnittsform abweichende Querschnitte aufweisen und so eine relative Drehung umeinander formschlüssig verhindern. Hierdurch wird auf besonders einfache und praktische Art und Weise eine definierte Rückstellung der elastischen Federelemente nach einer Beanspruchung gewährleistet. Auf dem Lagebolzen verdrehbare Befestigungselemente sind je jedoch bei entsprechender Anforderung ebenfalls denkbar, deren Lagerbolzen dann bevorzugterweise ebenfalls kreiszylindrische Lagerstellen aufweisen können.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the fasteners are rotationally fixed on the bearing pin, which, like the fasteners of a rotationally symmetrical cross-sectional shape deviating cross-sections and thus prevent relative rotation around each other form-fitting. As a result, a defined provision of the elastic spring elements after a stress is ensured in a particularly simple and practical manner. On the position pin rotatable fasteners, however, depending on the respective requirement are also conceivable, the bearing pin then preferably also may have circular cylindrical bearings.

Vorteilhaft ist es des Weiteren, dass die Wippe mit ihren Stützflügeln verdrehbar auf dem Lagerbolzen festgelegt ist, sodass sie die von einem Federbein auf einen Stützflügel ausgeübte Druckkraft widerstandsfrei auf das Federbein des benachbarten Federelementes übertragen kann. Bei ausreichender Elastizität des Materials kann eine solche Funktion auch mit starr, bzw. nicht verdrehbar auf dem Lagerbolzen montierter Wippe erzielt werden. Denkbar ist hier eine Ausführungsform mit auf dem Lagerbolzen fest angeordneten Halteelement der Wippe und einer elastischen Aufhängung der Stützflügel.It is also advantageous that the rocker with its support wings is rotatably mounted on the bearing pin, so that it can transmit the force exerted by a strut on a support wing compressive force without resistance to the strut of the adjacent spring element. With sufficient elasticity of the material, such a function can be achieved with rigid, or non-rotatable mounted on the bearing pin rocker. Conceivable here is an embodiment with on the bearing pin fixedly arranged holding element of the rocker and an elastic suspension of the support wings.

Entsprechend einer besonders zu bevorzugenden Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist jedes Befestigungselement und die Wippe auf einem separaten Lagerbolzen angeordnet, wobei der Lagerbolzen für die Wippe mittig unterhalb der Lagerbolzen zweier horizontal benachbarter Unterfederungen angeordnet ist. Dies erleichtert die technische Ausführung ebenso wie den Zusammenbau der erfinderischen Unterfederung. Eine weitere Vereinfachung liefert eine Version, bei der die Befestigungselemente zweier benachbarter Federelemente auf einem gemeinsamen Lagebolzen angeordnet sind, wodurch weiterhin eine wesentliche Materialeinsparung erzielt wird. Bei einer dritten Variante können nicht nur die Befestigungselemente der Federelemente, sondern auch noch die Wippe auf einem einzigen gemeinsamen Lagerbolzen angeordnet sein, was die Herstellungskosten deutlich reduziert.According to a particularly preferable embodiment of the invention, each fastening element and the rocker is arranged on a separate bearing pin, wherein the bearing pin for the rocker is arranged centrally below the bearing pin of two horizontally adjacent lower suspensions. This facilitates the technical design as well as the assembly of the innovative spring suspension. A further simplification provides a version in which the fastening elements of two adjacent spring elements are arranged on a common position pin, whereby further material savings is achieved. In a third variant, not only the fastening elements of the spring elements, but also the rocker can be arranged on a single common bearing pin, which significantly reduces the manufacturing cost.

Die Stützflügel der Wippe sind im unbelasteten Zustand von den Federbeinen beabstandet oder liegen nur leicht daran an, sodass diese bei einer nur leichten Beanspruchung auf Grund ihrer Eigenelastizität entsprechend sensibel reagieren können. Erst bei einer starken Punktbelastung eines ersten Tragelementes erfolgt ein so starkes Einfedern, dass die darunter angeordneten Stützflügel mit den Federbeinen in Kontakt kommen und so ausgelenkt werden, dass ein Federbein eines benachbarten Tragelements von dem zugehörigen Stützflügel angehoben, bzw. das Tragelement mit einer nach oben gerichteten Stützkraft beaufschlagt wird.The support wings of the rocker are spaced in the unloaded state of the spring struts or are only slightly on it, so that they can react sensitively with only a slight stress due to their inherent elasticity. Only with a strong point load of a first support member so strong compression occurs that the underlying support wings come into contact with the struts and are deflected so that a strut of an adjacent support member raised by the associated support wing, or the support member with an upward directed supporting force is applied.

Zur Vereinfachung der Montage sind die Lagerbolzen für die Befestigungselemente und der Wippe auf einer Grundplatte angeordnet, die an oder auf den Grundträger festlegbar ist.To simplify the assembly, the bearing bolts for the fasteners and the rocker are arranged on a base plate which can be fixed to or on the base support.

Für eine Anordnung der Grundplatte an Längsholmen eines Bettrahmens als Grundkörper ist die Grundplatte mit einem oder mehreren nach hinten gerichteten Dübelzapfen ausgestattet, die in Bohrungen des Längsholmes eingesetzt werden können. Die Oberseite der Aufnahmetaschen der Endpunktlager für die Federholzleisten bildet dann neben den Oberflächen der Federholzleisten jeweils ein Anteil der Auflagerfläche der Unterfederung.For an arrangement of the base plate to longitudinal beams of a bed frame as a base body, the base plate is equipped with one or more rearwardly directed dowel pins, which can be used in holes of the longitudinal spar. The top of the receiving pockets of Endpunktlager for the slats then forms next to the surfaces of the slats each a share of the support surface of the spring base.

Ein solches Endpunktiager weist zwei sich schräg von oben nach unten in Richtung auf die seitlichen Lagerbolzen verlaufende Federbeine auf, die jeweils im Bereich der Lagerbolzen eine elastische Falte besitzen, die sich ausgehend von einem leichten bis zu einem ersten Druckniveau auf das Tragelement in Richtung auf den Lagerkörper schließt, worauf sich bei weiter steigendem Druck die Kraft unmittelbar auf dem Lagerkörper abstützt und sich das steifere Federbein elastisch verformt. Die Funktion der Wippe ist jedoch davon unabhängig, ob die Falte in irgendeinem Belastungszustand vollständig geschlossen wird oder nicht.Such Endpunktiager has two obliquely extending from top to bottom in the direction of the lateral bearing pin struts, each having an elastic fold in the region of the bearing pin, extending from a light to a first pressure level on the support member in the direction of the Bearing closes, whereupon the force is supported directly on the bearing body with further increasing pressure and the stiffer strut deforms elastically. However, the function of the rocker is independent of whether the fold is completely closed in any load condition or not.

Die Unterfederung einer Matratze eines aus Längs- und Querholmen bestehenden Bettrahmens mit in Endpunktlagern gelagerten Federleisten besteht aus den Aufnahmetaschen 14 für die Federleisten, deren Oberseiten die Tragelemente 1 bilden. Unter diesen bzw. unterhalb der Aufnahmetaschen 14 ist ein Federelement 2 angeordnet, welches zwei sich von innen nach außen und unten erstreckende Federbeine 9 aufweist, die an ihren Enden Befestigungselemente 3 besitzen, die auf Lagerbolzen 4 aufgesetzt sind, die ihrerseits an einer Grundplatte 6 angeformt sind, ebenso wie ein Lagerbolzen 5 für die Wippe 7, wobei die Grundplatte 6 auf ihrer zu dem als Längsholm ausgebildeten Grundträger 10 gerichteten Seite zwei Dübelzapfen 11 aufweist, die in Bohrungen 12 im Grundträger 10 eingesetzt sind.The underslung of a mattress consisting of a longitudinal and transverse struts bed frame with spring strips mounted in Endpunktlagern consists of the receiving pockets 14 for the spring strips whose tops form the support elements 1. Below these or below the receiving pockets 14, a spring element 2 is arranged, which has two from the inside outwards and downwardly extending struts 9, which have at their ends fasteners 3, which are mounted on bearing pins 4, which in turn formed on a base plate 6 are, as well as a bearing pin 5 for the rocker 7, wherein the base plate 6 on its side facing the longitudinal beam formed as a longitudinal beam 10 side has two dowel pins 11 which are inserted into holes 12 in the base support 10.

Zwischen einem Befestigungselement 3 und sein zugehörigen Federbein 9 eines jeden Federelementes 2 ist eine elastische Falte 13 vorgesehen, die bei einer leichten Belastung des Tragelementes 1 sich schließend verformt, wobei ab einer bestimmten Belastung des Tragelementes 1 die Falte 13 vollständig geschlossen ist, sodass sich das Federbein 9 unmittelbar am Lagerbolzen 4 abstützt und sich danach gegebenenfalls selber weiter elastisch verformt.Between a fastener 3 and its associated strut 9 of each spring element 2, an elastic fold 13 is provided which deforms at a slight load of the support member 1 closing, starting from a certain load of the support member 1, the fold 13 is completely closed, so that the Suspension strut 9 is supported directly on the bearing pin 4 and then optionally further elastically deformed itself.

Auf der Grundplatte 6 sind, wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt, zwei Lagerbolzen 4 für die Federelemente 2 zweier benachbarter Tragelemente 1 angeordnet und unterhalb der Lagerbolzen 4 der weitere Lagerbolzen 5, auf dem die Wippe 7 aufgesetzt ist, die zwei Stützflügel 8 aufweist, die sich jeweils unter ein Federbein 9 der benachbarten Tragelemente 1 erstrecken und diese im kräftefreien Zustand nicht berühren.On the base plate 6, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, two bearing pins 4 are arranged for the spring elements 2 of two adjacent support members 1 and below the bearing pin 4 of the further bearing pin 5, on which the rocker 7 is placed, which has two support wings 8 , each under a strut 9 extend the adjacent support members 1 and do not touch them in the force-free state.

Bei einer starken Belastung eines einzelnen Tragelementes 1 legt sich ein Stützflügel 8 bereits während der Einfederung und Verformung der Falte 13 oder erst nach Abschluss deren Verformung an das Federbein 9 an, wobei die Wippe 7 um den Lagerbolzen 5 herum verschwenkt, sodass der gegenüberliegende Stützflügel 8 unter das Federbein 9 des benachbarten Tragelements 1 greift und dieses mit einer nach oben gerichteten Stützkraft unterstützt oder sogar anhebt.At a heavy load of a single support member 1, a support wing 8 applies already during the deflection and deformation of the fold 13 or until the completion of their deformation of the strut 9, wherein the rocker 7 pivots about the bearing pin 5, so that the opposite support wing. 8 engages under the strut 9 of the adjacent support member 1 and supports this with an upward support force or even lifts.

Die in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellte Ausführungsform besitzt nur einen Lagerbolzen 4 für die Befestigungselemente 3 der Federelemente 2 zweier benachbarter Tragelemente 1 und die Stützflügel 8 der Wippe 7 liegen bereits in kräftefreiem Zustand leicht unter der Federbeine 9 des Federelements 2 an. Wie dort weiter hin dargestellt, ist die linke Unterfederung stark belastet und verdreht die beteiligte Wippe 7 so, dass die benachbarte mittlere Unterfederung vom rechten Stützflügel 8 der rechten wippe der linken Unterfederung mit einer Stützkraft beaufschlagt wird. Die rechte Unterfederung ist mit noch nicht montiertem Tragelement 1 dargestellt, welches die Aufnahmetaschen für die Enden der Federleisten und darunter eine Rastvorrichtung zur Befestigung auf dem Federelement 2 aufweist.The embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4 has only one bearing pin 4 for the fasteners 3 of the spring elements 2 of two adjacent support members 1 and the support wings 8 of the rocker 7 are already in the force-free state slightly under the spring legs 9 of the spring element 2. As shown there further down, the left spring suspension is heavily loaded and twisted the rocker 7 involved so that the adjacent middle spring base is acted upon by the right wing 8 of the right rocker of the left lower suspension with a supporting force. The right spring base is shown with not yet mounted support element 1, which has the receiving pockets for the ends of the spring strips and below a locking device for attachment to the spring element 2.

Nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt sind Ausführungsformen mit Drehlagerung der Befestigungselemente.Not shown in the drawing are embodiments with pivotal mounting of the fasteners.

Ebenfalls nicht dargestellt sind Ausführungsformen von Unterfederungen mit vollständig aufgelösten Unterstützungsflächen von Untermatratzen mittels Einzelfederelementen, bei denen direkt oder diagonal benachbarte Auflagerteller von Wippen unterstützt werden.Also not shown are embodiments of lower suspension with fully resolved support surfaces of sub-mattresses by means of individual spring elements, in which directly or diagonally adjacent support plates are supported by rockers.
